>Does anyone have any wood plans, measurements, for the >dash of a 1980 Spitfire?
Although I don't have the plans, I can tell you what worked really well for me when I re-did my '76 Spit dash in cherry wood. To start, I bought a top guided router bit (bearing on the top of equal radius to the cutting edge below). Securing the old dash face to the new wood (face down - the back provides a better guide), I pre-drilled holes for the router bit to start in and then used the old dash as a guide for bearing guide. The dash was done in two stages; the first was a backing plate of 3/8". After I had all the holes cut properly and I liked the fit, I put the screws through for the left and right panels and used contact cement to glue a piece of 1/4" venier to the front. Then using the newly cut back as a guide I cut the holes in the face of the new dash. Good luck! c. *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** *** unsubscribe/change address requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or try *** http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool *** http://www.team.net/mailman/listinfo *** Archives at http://www.team.net/archive *** Edit your replies!
